A cauldron is a large, round pot traditionally made of metal, often used for cooking or boiling liquids over an open fire. They have been used throughout history in various cultures for preparing food, brewing potions, or even for ceremonial purposes. Cauldrons can vary in size and design, with some being quite decorative. In folklore and mythology, cauldrons are often associated with witches and magic. They are depicted as vessels for brewing potions or casting spells, particularly in stories involving witches and magic. The image of a bubbling cauldron has become a popular symbol in Halloween decorations and related themes.
